UNIVERSITY  STUDENTS  HOTEL 

,Vf>.   S,W  BROADWAY. 


This  new  five-story  brick  building,  situated  on  high 
ground,  with  an  unobstructed  view  of  the  bay  and  all 
steamers  and  ships  that  come  in  or  go  out  of  the  harbor, 
also  all  the  south,  east  and  west  parts  of  the  city, 
forms  a  complete  observatory.  Being  in  a  healthy  and 
respectable  neighborhood,  free  from  the  confusion  and 
bustle  of  business,  and  free  also  from  the  wearisome 
noise  of  the  rattling  carriage-wheel,  it  offers  to  the  stu- 
dent a  quiet  and  secluded  home — which  is  very  desira- 
ble, if  not  absolutely  necessary,  to  the  growth  and 
development  of  the  mental  faculties.  It  may  be  stated 
here  for  the  advantage  of  those  young-  men  who  desire 
to  be  near  the  heart  of  the  city,  that  five  minutes'  walk

will  bring  them  to  California  and  Montgomery  streets, 
the  present  business  centre.  The  building  is  located  in 
the  neighborhood  of  the  Cogswell  Dental  and  Hastings 
Law  Colleges,  608-14  Front  street,  and  about  350  t'eet 
east  of  the  Post-office,  U.  S.  Courts  and  Custom  House. 
It  is  also  convenient  to  the  Tolarid  Medical  College, 
Street  Railroads,  Ferries,  etc. 

All  the  rooms  are  lighted  from  the  outside,  and  get  the 
sunlight  more  or  less  during  the  day.  Hot  and  cold 
water,  also  closets  on  each  floor.  Flues  in  all  rooms,  for 
use,  if  needed.  The  furniture  new,  and  made  to  order 
in  this  city.  The  bedding,  feather  pillows,  hair-  and 
steel  spring  mattresses  in  all  of  the  rooms  are  of  the  same 
quality  as  those  of  the  Palace  Hotel,  and  furnished  .by 
the  same  upholsterer.  These  luxuries  will  be  appreciated 
by  that  class  of  gentlemen  who  know  the  u.w  of  conit'o .  ts 
without  the  abuse. 

We  would  make  this  hotel  not  only  a  home  for  the 
students  and  teachers,  but  for  the  friends  of  education

visiting  this  city  from  abroad.  Here  let  them  find  quiet 
comfortable  rooms  at  a  moderate  expense,  to  interchange 
ideas.  In  the  lower  part  of  the  building  are  two  large 
rooms,  well  lighted  and  ventilated,  capable  of  seating 
each  from  seventy-five  to  one  hundred  and  fifty  persons. 
These  rooms,  free  of  rent,  are  for  the  use  of  the  students 
should  they  require  them  for  occasional  lectures  or  bus- 
iness gatherings.  This  hotel  will  be  managed  for  the  in- 
terest of  the  students  and  their  friends,  as  it  is  expected 
they  will  be  its  chief  patrons.  It  makes  no  pretentious 
claim  to  elegance  or  fashion,  but  hopes  to  fill  a  use  in  furn- 
ishing a  quiet  retreat  to  teachers  and  students  on  an  econ- 
omical plan. 

After  the  rooms  are  filled  a  table  can  be  supplied  on  the 
Club-House  plan,  or  otherwise,  in  the  large  dining- hall, 
just  finished,  by  employing  a  suitable  person  to  do  the 
catering.  In  this  manner  the  students  can  limit  their 
living  expenses  to  suit  themselves,  paying  only  first  cost, 
as  our  city  furnishes  one  of  the  cheapest  and  best  inar-

kets  in  the  Union;  for  the  present  there  are  good  restaur- 
ants near  by.  In  the  parlor  is  a  fine-toned  organ,  whore 
the  gentlemen  may  gratify  their  musical  tastes. 

All  baggage  not  required  in  the  rooms  stored  in  the 
building  free. 

The  prices  for  choice  of  rooms  (which  can  now  be  se- 
cured for  the  lecture  terms  of  the  Colleges  or  longer, 
either  by  personal  application  or  mail),  if  occupied  by 
two  persons,  range  from  $12  to  $16  per  month;  the 
same  rooms,  if  occupied  by  one  person,  fr.om  $9  to  $12 
per  month,  payable  in  advance.  If  taken  for  the  Lec- 
ture term,  a  discount  of  10  per  cent,  from  the  above 
prices  will  be  allowed.  Transients,  by  the  day,  75  cents. 
If  two  in  a  room,  $1.25,  with  a  liberal  discount  when 
taken  for  a  week  or  more.  Baths,  25  cents.  There 
are  accommodations  in  the  building  for  eighteen  stu- 
dents at  a  cost  of  twenty  cents  per  day  each,  and  forty 
at  twenty-seven  cents  per  day.  The  difference  in  prices 
being  for  size  and  location  of  rooms.  Also  more  expen-

sive  rooms,  at  relatively  moderate  prices.  It  is  the 
object  of  this  house  to  give  the  students  and  patrons 
good  accommodations  at  as  low  a  price  as  will  make  it 
self-supporting,  and  thus  perpetuate  it  as  an  auxiliary 
to  the  State  University.

P.  S. — Should  there  be  any  students  wishing  to  live  in 
the  primitive  California  style,  by  keeping  "  bachelor's 
hall"  on  a  still  more  economical  plan,  they  can  be  accom- 
modated in  a  building  near  the  College,  it  having  a  private 
stairway  leading  to  the  third  _story,  in  which  are  twelve 
unfurnished  rooms,  roughly  finished,  well  ventilated  and 
lighted  from  the  outside,  and  having  flues  for  cooking- 
stoves.  '.  Each  room  will  accommodate  two  persons,  and 
will  be  rented  at  the  nominal  price  of  three  dollars  per 
month,  in  advance,  and  if  taken  for  the  lecture  term, 
10  per  cent,  discount  allowed ;  thus  costing  for  room- 
rent  five  cents  per  day  each  student,  or  less  as  above 
described. 

Also  shop-room  furnished  free  to  students  having 
leisure  time  and  the  ability  to  employ  themselves  at  any 
in-door  mechanical  work  while  pursuing  their  studies.
